Ritchie Bros n Bro Don Whipple

What a treat! Our nephew Don flew in to DFW Saturday afternoon. We delivered him to the location in Fort Worth where his company had purchased a truck which he was to drive back to Moapa. Sister Nelson tried to stowaway however was discovered at the last minute.
We had the fun opportunity of hosting another great missionary. Elder Don Whipple who had served in the Sacramento California mission 1995 - 1997 He served with President Roundy in the mission office as his assistant for 9 months. I believe operating a crane would be an easier assignment!
Sister Paige who volunteers at the ERS office doing data entry
He flew in at 2:00 and was gone by 5:00.
We talked about old times and places. Enjoyed a wonderful What-a-Burger and he drove into the sunset. What a great time we had.
